YELLOW BEETLE CAR

Found a card on the Stampin' UP! Stampin' Connection for demonstrations made by LeeAnn Greff that resembles the VW Beetle Cars. She made hers red but I have an auntie that is a fanatic about yellow ones!! It is her dream car!! I added rhinestone brads for the headlights & created the road to drive on. Hope she likes it!

Supplies used:

Paper: YoYo Yellow, Basic Black, Basic Grey, Glorious Green & Whisper White
Punches: Jumbo Oval, Large Oval, Ornament, 3/4" Circle, 1/2" Circle.

The hood of the car is a Jumbo Oval punch with 2 large ovals for the 3-D effect on the hood.
The top of the car is a Jumbo Oval.
The windshield of the car is a large oval punch.
The rearview mirrow is the top of the Ornament punch.
The wheel hubs are a large oval cut in half (one for each side).
The headlights are a rhinestone brad with a 1/2" circle behind it.
The wheels are a 3/4" circle.
The lever on the hood of the car is also a top of the Ornament punch cut to fit.
The bumper is a 1/4" strip of Basic Grey cardstock that I put into the 3/4" circle punch to round the corners.

For Jordan's Teacher

This is what my son and I made for his teacher for Teacher Appreciation week/day.

We made the rose with the Ornament Punch. He did all of the color on the Whisper White cardstock with Melon Mambo Ink and a sponge. Then he helped me put the rose together and then rolled over and fell fast asleep!!! I mounted the flowing on a Scallop Circle (Old Olive Cardstock) that I cut in the Big Shot. Next I used the Scallop Oval Punch (folded it in half) and ran it through the Crimper and then opened it to create the leaves. His favorite color is blue so I use Pacific Point Blue Cardstock and put it through the Big Shot with the Beautiful Wings embosslit and put them onto the flower with mini glue dots

He's a pretty good kid! H0pe she likesi

Birthday Clown

I thought that Stampin' Connection was for SU Only merchandise! I was kinda put back by a card that I found and liked and found out that it was made with a Cricut! So, I thought, I will show you...I will recreate the card with all SU merchandise!

So, here is the card! I think he turned out pretty cute.

The circus is here in town so that was little extra inspiration!

Below is the sheet I made up to show what punches and Big Shot Die Cuts I used to make the clown.

Let me know what you think of him! I'd love to hear what you think!

No Neutral Challenge

I combined two different challenges for this card. Over at Techno Stamper she gave the inspiration for the layout of the card.

The other challenge was the LNS Demonstrator Yahoo Group who provided the challenge to create a card without any neutral (white, vanilla, etc) colors on the card.

Here I used Brocade Blue cardstock, ink & DSP. I also used Regal Rose DSP and then So Saffron cardstock. I also ran the So Saffron through the Big Shot using the Stampin' UP! Elegant Bouquet Impressions Folder. I also used the Flowers, Daisies #2 Die Cut to create the pop up flower which was topped off with a Fire Rhinestone Brad. The image is stamped from Level 2 Hostess set calle dAsian Artistry.

Not sure if I am totally happy with it, I would love to hear what you think about it.

Trigger's Birthday

I found a card over on Stampin' Connection made by Ellen Kemper. I LOVED IT!! So, I had to recreate it. She had his tongue hanging out and I thought a bone would be more appropriate for "my" dog (he's not really my dog but he thinks I belong to him....long story....he is my Aunt & Uncle's dog). They keep trying to send him home with me....he is a Bassett Hound that weighs about 75lbs and thinks he weighs 7.5lbs....he is hilarious!! Anyway it is his birthday next week and he will be 7 on the 24th. So thought I would send him a treat along with this card.

I used the following punches: Wide Oval, Butterfly, 1/2" Circle. His muzzle is cut out with the Big Shot and the Circles 2 Die Cut (the big circle). White gel pen for highlights on the eyes & nose.

Thanks for stopping by!
